Late commenting on the Georgia O'Keefe discussion, didn't join in because my interest in her has strictly been her art. The biographies I read are rarely planned but rather what (who) looks interesting at the used book stores and library sales. Right now I'm reading David McCullough's Pioneers which, most interestingly, turned out not to be wagon trains to gold fields in CA but rather the New England elite's settling into the new Northwest Territory right after the Revolutionary War, which in fact, was the part of Ohio where I was born and grew up. Back to O'Keefe, I'll look for her in the next Friends of the Library sale. Regards to all, looks like another Tropical Storm into eastern NC this weekend.

Hope Ophelia gives you a large miss, Martha. I enjoyed PIONEERS--McCullough was such a compelling storyteller. Thanks for the mention!
I hope you have a lovely weekend
